Now both Orien Green & Mustafa Shakur signed to partially guaranteed contracts

The Kings' addition of point guard Orien Greene announced Friday should add to the competitive landscape come October.
With doubt surrounding his NBA career just as it does all players entering their third seasons with little progress to speak of, Greene will compete for the backup point guard spot during training camp with recently signed Mustafa Shakur (undrafted rookie free agent out of Arizona). Greene, drafted by Boston in the 2005 second round and known for his defense, played a limited role in 80 games for the Celtics and in just 41 games for Indiana last season.
Greene's contract is believed to be for one season and partially guaranteed. But as center Loren Woods learned last season, even sizable guarantees don't ensure a roster spot. Woods, who was guaranteed $300,000, was cut by the Kings just before the regular season. Such is the case for Shakur, as well, with a guarantee of $20,000.
